Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Anniversary Laura!

We went to Bowie to see a friend do his St. Patrick's day gig at a pub.(Well, restaurant/pub)

A trombone, Jesse? That's so cool! Did you always play or is this a new thing?

Happy anniversary, Laura!

I made it out to dog class, where we actually got hailed on, and I got kind of chilled, so I'm now huddled under a wool blanket on the futon. I am not celebrating St. Patrick's day: I have no interest in public drunkenness.

I'm dithering about quitting my chorus. I have missed a lot of rehearsals this season, and for some reason I haven't really connected with anyone there, so it isn't a big social draw. Plus, having Monday nights free means I could climb then instead, which I would really like to do. OTOH, I only have 2 months until the one yearly concert we do. So I will probably stick it out until then, and then drop it. I enjoy it mostly, but between my hearing problem and inability to read music, I'm not exactly pulling my weight. Sigh.

Back from the St. Patrick's Day Parade. 50th anniversary one for the city. It was hot, but a good time was had by all. Good mix of firefighters, commercial floats, and general citizenry. The float giving away fans was popular.

Happy Anniversary, Laura and Brendon!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A trombone, Jesse? That's so cool! Did you always play or is this a new thing?

I just started a couple of months ago, and decided that the two hours a week on a borrowed trombone probably wasn't enough to actually get anywhere. I have to say, I have good craigslist luck -- a couple of weeks of looking, and there was one basically as cheap as I had seen them, an easy bus ride away.

And I did make it home and back out again before the movie. Phew.

Am feeling very WTF about Frankenbuddha.

I'm thinking sushi for dinner. There is a newish Sushi/Thai place here that I haven't been to yet, and the menu is very enticing. It is going to be a struggle to choose though. There are 10 different soups and I won't attempt to count the roll options.

Indeed. I think I interacted with him more at the F2F than I did on the board. The last time he visited the board he was going through such a hard time. It is just so very sad.

It's a blow. I am sad and bewildered.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sad and bewildered is a good description.

Peace to Frankenbudda.

Discovered last year how limited accessibility is, even at places that should be concerned like doctor's offices.

Seriously. My orthopedic surgeon is in a medical building that seems like it should be accessible, but it is the only place I have fallen. The lobby has cobblestone like tiles and the side walk out front is so uneven. I hit a lip and toppled off my scooter - thankfully onto a bench I was next to, but that could have been so much worse. The elevators are tiny and I can't turn around in them. The automatic door buttons into his office are NOT near the doors.

Ok, done with that fuss. Met up with some friends from DCC leadership for a game night. It was fun to catch up with folks I haven't really seen since last year. So good to get out and just laugh for 5 hours!
